"I promised you that I would never let you suffer any more injustice. The mistakes of the past are irreversible, but from now on, I will protect you tightly!"
Cang Xixue turned her head and looked at Feng Guche with deep affection, her voice choked with sobs.
"I am well aware of Your Majesty's deep affection for me. I am blessed to be able to stay with Your Majesty forever."
"During the time Your Majesty has been ill, I have been unable to eat or sleep properly. I am not afraid of being tired or suffering, but I am afraid that something might happen to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty's illness this time has really frightened me. I absolutely do not want to experience it a second time."
Feng Guche felt a lump in his throat as he listened, and a wave of emotion washed over him.
In this world, who else but Cang Xixue could be so devoted to thinking of me?
"Alright, it was I who made you sad. Don't worry, this will never happen again. I will take care of my health and stay by your side."
A barely perceptible hint of disgust flashed in Cang Xixue's eyes before she sat down next to Feng Guche.
She simply looked at Feng Guche without saying a word.
Feng Guche smiled and spoke when he saw Cang Xixue's appearance.
"You've come here because you have something to say, right?"
Cang Xixue hesitated.
Feng Guche couldn't bear to see Cang Xixue like this, so he reached out and hugged her tightly.
"Tell me, is something bothering you? All the affairs of the harem are on your shoulders, it breaks my heart to see you like this."
Cang Xixue shook her head.
"Your Majesty, if it were just a matter of the harem, I wouldn't be so troubled."
"Why is that?"
A hint of resentment flashed in Cang Xixue's eyes before she finally spoke slowly.
"It's all about my son. I know that women in the harem are not allowed to interfere in state affairs, but I still feel indignant on behalf of my son."
"It was the Emperor who ordered him to investigate the matter of the Prince of Libei. In order to find out the truth, he did not hesitate to offend high-ranking officials in the court. But in the end, the Emperor was so biased towards Prime Minister Shen. This is truly disheartening."
After listening, Feng Guche glanced at the memorial beside him.
A short sigh.
"Alas! Xue'er, things are not so simple. Prime Minister Shen has served in the court for many years, and his power should not be underestimated. I'm afraid that if I touch him, it will cause turmoil in the court!"
Cang Xixue frowned slightly.
“I know what Your Majesty is thinking, but has Your Majesty seriously considered this? If we do not take action against Prime Minister Shen now, we will inevitably be raising a tiger that will cause trouble later. Didn’t Your Majesty also say that Prime Minister Shen’s power should not be underestimated?”
"Even after the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Prime Minister Shen will become a major threat to our dynasty. If we allow Prime Minister Shen to continue developing like this, won't the court be controlled by him from now on?"
Feng Guche frowned, seriously considering what Cang Xixue had said.
Although he didn't admit it to her face, Feng Guche still managed to win over Cang Xixue's heart.
I've long disliked Prime Minister Chen, but I haven't dared to say anything because of his position in the court.
Now that Shen Biyun has put him in the cold palace, Prime Minister Shen will naturally have to restrain himself.
After thinking for a moment, Feng Guche slowly spoke.
"What you say makes sense, but Prime Minister Shen is, after all, the Crown Prince's maternal grandfather. Do you think he will still be able to use the emperor to command the feudal lords after I pass away?"
Cang Xixue spoke solemnly.
"I dare not say that, but now Prime Minister Shen holds immense power in the court. While the Emperor is alive, he still has some reservations. But after he passes away, his achievements will overshadow the Emperor, and he may inevitably do something despicable!"
